1st Day At School

Arriving at school I was scared I wouldn't meet any friends. I held onto my Mother wishing this day would be over. When she left I cryed and Cryed, my eyes looked like rain pouring down my face. When I looked around I knew this would be a nightmare. Nervously waiting I was lost. My hands were shaking like an earthquake, I was going to scream but didn't want to embarrass myself on the first day.

Luckily a kind girl came to me and start rubbing my back her name was Turuhira. Turuhira grabbed hold of my arm and said do you want to be my friend,  “Yes” yelled with excitement, but I was still shy. I followed her everywhere,  She knew where everything was, Turuhira was so funny. Strong and beautiful, Turuhira was the best friend ever.

Determined to draw a picture I got scared, I wasn’t an artist. I looked at everyone around me and they drew fast. I grabbed a red crayon and started to draw a dinosaur. I knew I had to be brave. “YAY” my dinosaur was finally finished, It had a red nose and blue spikes on it, I even had a green body and a sharp tail. I realized this school was so fun “I CANT WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW”!!...

Sport Rotation!

“Yay!” everyone shouted as we sprinted in the hall ready for something new and different!
Our whole senior school were having a rotation of activities while our teachers were looking at the junior school. Everybodys face was happy, smiling like barney. We were all separated into house group I was in Te Arawa 4!! The leaders for my group was Aiden and we did a lot of different activities which were awesome and fun.

Jump Jam was fun and awesome everyone was stumping there feets trying to go with the beet. The room was shaking and the chair was falling onto the carpet just like an earthquake. Girls were shy, Boys were challenging each other and Miss M was shouting out loud. ‘’Ha Ha’’ Everybody giggled and laughed as they all dance to the rhythm.

Valerie Adam 2012

Wednesday, August 08 2012

With full of a disappointing loss Valerie Adams came in with a silver medal competing in the shot-put. Valerie Adams personal best was 21.34. Unexpectedly Valerie was beaten by Nadzeya Ostapchuk but only a short shot. Agreeing with the silver medal Valerie was getting a little bit happy for her achievement.

Precious Mckanzie

Precious McKenzie was born in South Africa in 1936. Unfortunately he had a chest condition which he luckily survived, which is why his mother Christena called him Precious. Precious was well known in New Zealand because he was a famous weightlifter.

In his early childhood Precious's dad was eaten by a crocodile. Suddenly his mother started drinking so she gave Precious and his sister to foster homes. Sadly their foster parents didn’t feed them properly so he didn’t grow properly. He only grew to 1.45m.

Without too much effort Precious did gymnastics hoping to be in the circus. Unfortunately he couldn't be in the circus because of his colour skin. He decided to do weightlifting instead.

He won the Bantamweight title in South Africa. and wanted to play for the empire games but he wasn’t allowed because of his skin color. They even refused to select for the Olympics. In 1963 South Africa finally chose him but he refused because he didn’t want to be treated like that, and be discriminated against.


He chose to emigrate to England. He also got married to a woman called elizabeth and was lucky enough had two children. After that he came to New zealand and was on our team for weightlifting. And he won a lot of medals.

Joshua Iosefo Brown Brother.

Joshua Iosefo is a prefect at Mt Roskill Grammar. He and all the other prefects had to write a speech to read to the whole school. But Joshua decided to write a poem about his skin color called brown brother. When Joshua read his poem in front of the whole school his friend Roshard recorded him and then his friend posted him saying his poem on youtube.


Joshua’s poem Brown Brother was very inspiring and it kind of sounded like a rap. His message is to don't believe or listen to stereotypes and don’t believe what others say about you. His message was similar to the korero that we say at Pt England School.

He wrote a great poem and it was life changing. It was better when he did some actions to all the words. That was the best poem I have ever heard from a prefect and it was trying to tell us something about stereotypes.
